Joseph Alexander Studio

That looks good enough to travel for.

I can feel that photo in my front teeth.

Because I want you to think I’m a nice girl?

It’s cool to see this. I grew up using a scythe, and agree that there are reasons for using tools like this to do tasks.

A beautiful afternoon with mijn beste vriend at Haarlem Pride and now a late lunch at the fantastic, plant-based New Vegas Kitchen & Bar.

A jerk like that isn’t interested any anyone else’s experience or feelings, only in making it easier on themselves. They’ll string you along, knowing the whole time they aren’t going to invest. Sounds like you got rid of a loser early on.

Everyone should have at least one piece of art that makes guests say, “Where did you get that? I have never seen anything like it.”

Agreed, and thank you. Being transparent about their creative process has always been a benefit to artists—though many of us fear it—and now, it is more important than ever.

Wood branded with Joseph Alexander Studio signature logo.

Just like that.

Today I will work on preparing cradeled boards mounted with portrait-grade linen. The first step is to burn my signature logo into the backs of the boards. This is unneccessary and adds no artistic value to the painting, but it is a nice touch that lets my collectors know I care. 2/2

My little studio is pretty much set up, and it is time to dive in. So far, I have not found panels (which I prefer to use up to about 50x60cm or A2-ish size) that are up to my standards. I have found cradeled boards that are quite nice, and of course, fantastic Belgian linen. 1/2

Plus, even though they are not aggressive towards other birbs, they have that beak that says, “Outta my way, muthas! I will slay you!”

Every photo I see of you shows innate sexiness and strength of being. If you were here in The Netherlands I would seek you out as a model for my work.

Flirt away, handsome.

I think we have given them enough. Grok has been in my lexicon with proper usage since the 1960s. They can’t have it. They might use it for a while, but sooner, not later, they will become a footnote.

“Sir, is this the bird that stole your fries?”

You know, this is how you got your last cat.

Chilling but worrying about the world a little.

Thanks for the heads up. I am really liking this.

We saw this happen in the small city we lived in before immigrating to the EU. By law, no buildings were to be as tall as, or to obstruct the view of, the classic downtown architecture. A few years ago a developer bribed the city council to approve a variance, and now all new buildings are towering.

I use Signal for comms with family and friends, WhatsApp for in-country (Netherlands) stuff. I know there are things that show up on Meta sites that I don’t see, but so much of that is controlled that I can’t rely on it anyway. I follow several reliable sources for news.

Fun and accurate!

Easy-peasey. You are an awesome, powerful dude.

Happy Pride, Hiro-chan!

Dank je wel. I am going to make sure to go see this while it is here.
